About this class
Gujarati food looks simple and rewards technique: the right tempering, the right balance of sweet, sour and heat, and the knack of getting a bhakhri or thepla to puff and stay soft. This class walks you through the daily table and the festive one.
Gujarati food looks simple and rewards technique, and this Gujarati cooking class in Nadiad teaches that technique hands-on. Chef Purna Shah walks you through the daily table: Bhakhari, Roti, Puri, Gujarati dal, Cooker rice, Gujarati kadhi and Masala khichdi, along with the knack of getting bhakhri crisp and Methi palak na thepla soft. It is a solid base for anyone who wants everyday Gujarati meals to taste right. Every dish is vegetarian.
The menu goes well beyond basics. Shaak dishes include Tameta bataka vatana nu shak, Tindora no shak, Kachi keri nu shak, Parval nu gravy valu green shaak and Sev tameta nu shak. Festive and farsan-style items include Undhiyu, Handvo, Muthiya, Dhokali and Bataka na bhajiya. Sides such as Kobij no sambharo, Bundi raita, Beetroot raita and quick athanu like Keri dhraksh nu athanu complete the plate. Puda, Masala chodha and Pav bhaji pulav are included too.
This class suits beginners, newly married cooks, working professionals and anyone who wants to cook festive Gujarati menus with confidence.
